Note: this was originally several Reddit posts, chained and linked. But now that Reddit is dying I've finally moved them out. Sorry about the mess.

URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/up206c/stack_machines_for_compilers/i8ikupw/ Summary: stack-based vs register-based in general.

There are a wide variety of machines that can be described as "stack-based" or "register-based", but not all of them are practical. And there are a lot of other decisions that affect that practicality (do variables have names or only address/indexes? fixed-width or variable-width instructions? are you interpreting the bytecode (and if so, are you using machine stack frames?) or turning it into machine code? how many registers are there, and how many are special? how do you represent multiple types of variable? how many scopes are there(various kinds of global, local, member, ...)? how much effort/complexity can you afford to put into your machine? etc.)

This downloads standalone MSVC compiler, linker & other tools, also headers/libraries from Windows SDK into portable folder, without installing Visual Studio. Has bare minimum components - no UWP/Store/WindowsRT stuff, just files & tools for native desktop app development.

Run py.exe portable-msvc.py and it will download output into msvc folder. By default it will download latest available MSVC & Windows SDK from newest Visual Studio.

You can list available versions with py.exe portable-msvc.py --show-versions and then pass versions you want with --msvc-version and --sdk-version arguments.

To use cl.exe/link.exe first run setup_TARGET.bat - after that PATH/INCLUDE/LIB env variables will be updated to use all the tools as usual. You can also use clang-cl.exe with these includes & libraries.

To use clang-cl.exe without running setup.bat, pass extra /winsysroot msvc argument (msvc is folder name where output is stored).

This is a conda-forge feedstock for PyTensor. The recipe produces two packages: pytensor-base (core, lightweight) and pytensor (adds compiler + BLAS deps).

When the autotick bot opens a version-bump PR, verify that PyPI dependency changes are reflected in the recipe before merging.

GTK4 was released in 2020 as an update to the already controversial GTK3. I was initially excited,until I saw how many traditional concepts were abandoned simply because the GNOME team decided they were "no longer useful."

Unfortunately, GTK4 apps look terrible in environments like IceWM, KDE Plasma, and Wayfire (which I use).

Is worse with libadwaita, where customization is nearly impossible,outside of setting the GTK_THEME environment variable.

To make matters worse, most GTK4 apps rely on poor Client-Side Decoration (CSD) designs that feel completely out of place outside GNOME.

These and other issues made me refuse to use GTK4-based applications. Instead, I've chosen to stick with software that still uses GTK3,or in some cases, apps that don’t use GTK at all but are still worth mentioning due to their quality and usability.
